Out of curiosity, may I ask why Google App Engine if the content is purely static. Surely there are better and simpler options like Github Pages. Wondering if there is a benefit to App Engine here that isn't quite obvious to me.

Yeah, I'm curious about the GAE aspect as well. Why have you chosen that over something like Netlify? Any particular shortcomings I'm missing?
